Though Dr. Kay (Addison Richards theorizes that the injuries may not last, Johnny has given up the will to live.

Reviews:
"This Bonanza story has yong Ben Cooper who was breaking horses for he Ponderosa being thrown and sustaning spinal paralysis. The Cartwrights take him in until he can recover. A nurse fom Dr.Addison Richard goes akong to help with the exercise treatment.
The main part of the story is the relationship between nurse Sue Randall abd Cooper. Both are wounded in their different ways. There's a secondaryy plot involving neighbor R.G. rmsterong and Randall who was once involved with one of his sons now deceased. Armstrong figures she's part of the family even though Randall and his kid were never married. Amstrong also doesn't like the Cartwrights in any event on general principles.
Cooper and Randall have some good scenes together as the romance develops. Iy's an episode with a well told tale." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
"The Cartwrights have hired a young man, Johnny Lightly, to break in a few horses. But while doing his job, Johnny is thrown and loses all feeling in the lower part of his body. With Johnny paralyzed, he will reside with the Cartwrights while he undergoes therapy in order to regain the use of his legs.
The doctor sends over a nurse, Ann Davis (Sue Randall), that has been obviously emotionally hurt by a man. Ann is a bitter young woman that cares for no one else but herself and will never again open up to a man. But while helping Johnny to regain feeling, Ann feels herself being draw toward the good-looking horse breaker and is set to leave Virginia City before she gets hurt again.
There is also a rather silly sub-plot, that involves a rancher, Nathan Clay, that blames Ben Cartwright for killing his son even though he was killed in another town while robbing a bank. And with the Cartwright boys on a cattle drive, Nathan is finally going to get his revenge on Ben.
The story concerning the paralyzed horse breaker was actually very interesting. The relationship between him and the bitter nurse played well. The part of the story that involved getting revenge on Ben Cartwright ended in a silly manner that was just not believable. But overall this episode held the viewers interest throughout the show. Good watch." Written by kfo9494 on IMDb.com

A very beautiful story. If I could only bring those days back. I was 11 years old in the Philippines when they showed Bonanza on our black and white TV set. I was not allowed to watch when my mom found out I was so in love with Michael Landon. She said it will spoil my studies. I am now 71 years old and I am so grateful I could now watch all the series. Thank you so much for showing these. Might not have long to go but enjoying life watching . Thank you very much.
Maria Gertrudes Dela Cruz. Heck I don't see any thing negative, wrong with being in loooove with Lil Joe, as long as you didn't mind sharing him. Lol 68 here, do you remember the actor who was a fugitive on the run falsely accused of killing his wife? A friend and I would skip school just to stay home and watch him.
Love watching this show
Bayan, I’m from Camiguin island Philippines 🇵🇭
I was watching right along with you Maria! My mom finally relented and let me watch. I was only ten and had a huge crush on Adam - and still do.
I am 75 years old and began watching them in the United States when I was about the same age as you were. I still enjoy watching them again every few years. I wasn’t in love with any of the four main iCartwrights, but I liked all the characters. The two I was in love with were Candy (David Canary) and Will Cartwright. Candy, because he was so handsome and personable; Will, because he was played by Guy Williams, with whom I fell in love as a little girl when he played Zorro. I watch reruns of Zorro, which was terribly written and directed, because I love seeing Guy Williams. I wish he had lived longer- 65 was way too young to die.
Hoss is a beast! He threw the first bother and then he threw the other brother and his ass hit his brother's face. 🤣🤣🤣
When westerns were being made Ben Cooper was in mostly all of them!
An amazingly gifted actor!!!!!
This is one of the best episodes! A great life lesson for everyone. No matter what happens never give up!
Great episode !! So nice to see forgiveness, faith, kindness, and perseverance. You'll truly enjoy this !
Can't get enough of bonanza great stories lines and great acting.

Me to i just love it
I feel the same ❤❤❤
I love how Adam just stands back listening and observing and speaks only when needed...now they have a bedroom next to the kitchen, must be where HopSing sleeps.
That kitchen is Hop Sing's entire life.
@@jasonmichael3676 also the house keeper
@@adamfox9245 I have never seen a housekeeper, have you?
@@davidcopperfield-notthemag397 Hop Sing is the cook and the housekeeper
I watched Showdown yesterday, Ben Cooper as Johnny breaking horses and robbing a bank. Then here he is again, a fine actor. He made dozens of westerns both on tv and movies. Won the golden boot in 20008 for his work in westerns.Really good episode Ben so wise and caring. Keep up the good work Gringo👍
He also was a guest star on combat great part .
I got the DVD of season 2 and the guy who played on showdown and this one said on showdown Pernell was friendly great to work with but on this episode he wasn't very corporate sorry I am a terrible speller but he didn't really want to be there so it must have Been either late in season 2 or the start of this season where Parnell wanted out.
Thanks. Always loved Ben Cooper. RIP
@@natvan29 I love Pernell Roberts but he should be grateful, Bonanza is what made him. Pernell left after the 6th season.
Amazing vulnerable confession and deep dive into what ails a soul, then understanding, realization, and renewed forgiveness and moving forward into a new life. Always Ben the wonderful and wise father guiding his family both natural and adopted, and the story moves on. The Ben Cartwright family saga, and the Bonanza.
The only Bonanza I saw was by way of a few comic books when very young. These are a real treat and I am now in my mid sixties and stuffing myself with them. Thankyou so much for these uploads. This was another of those many I really enjoyed.
@Ruatarengsi. I didn't know that there were comics of "Bonanza."
I'm in my mind 60's too. I saw a good number of Bonanza episodes those many years ago and now I'm enjoying it all over again.
Heart warming episode. Gave us lots of things to think about concerning the way we choose to live our lives.
Bonzana is one of favorite shows grew up watching this Mom and Dad when I was little
The actor Ben Cooper sure was good looking.
Sue Randall was pretty too. I ❤the ending when hatred forgotten and no nobody killed.
same me too. I thought Johnny would be killed.
@@bv6086
😃..Stay Safe and Blessed.
One of my favorite shows Bonanza
I know right...always an interesting episode, sometimes it's a happy one, sometimes a sad one, nonetheless this show is my addiction 🙂
This was made when a rainbow was still safe to look at
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent episode! Very heartwarming.
So sweet episode.
Really cute guest stars.
And always a moral to the story.
Hollyweird take note of the how you produced shows back in the day.
I can't feel my face. This was beautiful I loved it. Thank you.,,💯🤠❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great episode, one of the best! I love this Bonanza family concept and how it conquers the Wild West! Thanks for sharing
Bonanza, the way America should be!
Oh maria what a lovely thing to say!! I hope you have loads more years!!
Now that's what I like to see; a happy ending! We could do with a few more of those in these times or any!
Wow Nurse Davis also played Miss Landers the teacher on "Leave It To Beaver"... I Loooove watching these old story's
Her real name was Sue Randall.
@@lynettepalecek3141 She was a heavy smoker who died of lung and larynx cancer at 49.
@@timothykozlowski2945 I didn't know that. That's too bad. Thank you for the information.
love bonanza. rip Lorne green and sons!!
I imagine it’s pretty hard for a guy to feel manly when he’s getting princess-carried by Hoss.
The best love the story
Enjoying these bonanza episodes
HAppy to ehar that, thanks for watching! 🤠👌🎬🍿
Yes! Grjngo, please upload more seasons. Yours are the best picture quality and sound.
Loved this one ALOT !!!!!
Awesome to hear that, thanks for tuning in! 🤠👌🎬🍿
I like the guy that played Johnny,he could ve been little Joe ll.
Very good episode 🤠
One of my favorite episodes. Thanks!
Glad we can provide you with the old classics. Thanks for watching! 🤠✌🍿📺
One of the better episodes of Bonanza
A particularly charming and moving episode. I have tears in my eyes!😥♥️
In EVERY episode there is at least one crappy guy...it looks like my work place....where a lot of crappy guys are haunting around.
A lot of handsome men pass through the Ponderosa.
I want that tub! I like when he said, "I'm sorry teacher for being a bad boy." LOL!
A+ for Ben on this episode!
Well Done !!!!!! GBU all
p.s. I always had a crush on little Joe cartwright. Michael Landon..❤
I’ve watched Bonanza episodes several times over the decades, and I have a question that I have never been able to answer. Did the Cartwrights have an outhouse or perhaps a bathroom inside the house? We know they had running water in the kitchen, but all the bedrooms had a pitcher and basin. This question came up again because of this episode. I wondered how Johnny went to the bathroom! 🥴
@Lelia D, you are wondering about the outhouse, and I am wondering how they kept their hats on at full gallop.
Google says outhouses were the norm of this era in the west, maybe they had chamber pots like some fancy hotels did at the time, but somehow I doubt it
@@rosered103 Good one! And how they were never dusty when they took a two hour ride into town in an open buggy dressed in their finest for church!
@@BelaCurcio Yeah, I knew that the real Virginia City had water pipes running to the homes of residents by 1861, and by 1862 they had gas lines also. However, the Ponderosa would’ve been too far out to benefit from those city services. We know they had a well, and it magically appeared in the front yard from time to time, and disappeared just as easily.
In the episode in which the Cartwrights help the flatlanders drill water wells using a windmill, they use the pipe that Ben had bought to run water to his house. They already had a water pump at the kitchen sink. And Ben had bought a lot of pipe, so he must’ve been planning to run water to the upstairs. Flush toilets were readily available to those who could afford them by this time in history. So I was just wondering if I had missed anything reference to indoor plumbing in any of the Bonanza episodes. With all the fancy female guests they hosted, Ben certainly should’ve had it installed!
I believe the norm in the times of the Old West was to have a wooden shack for your excretions outside. I believe they called those convenience places outhouses, though the term shithouse was also in use at the time. Poor Johnny probably had to wear diapers...
'hey get over here quick they'll be breaking in" ....she hops right over the shotgun to stand behind him.
She did exactly what she was suppose to do and she did it quickly. The door was locked so it would have taken a long time to break down the door 🚪.
@@lynettepalecek3141 Yeah, she did what the script instructed her to do, but it is still ditzy. Any mindful person would have picked up that gun.
@@dorandacolbert5973 No, I disagree. I think that could have been too dangerous. You have your opinion and I have mine.
8:49, Hoss picks up Johnny without any effort!
Part of real Americana; what was, small part still is, and doing all we can to keep America free.
A post-Leave It to Beaver Sue Randall.
by the way, a horrible way to treat horses. Could only be done because ranchers in those days had plenty of disposable mounts running free on their territories. I bet ground was plastered with carcasses with broken bones and "dead broken" is a technical term of the horse world reminding of that. I had 26 years with a wonderful horse that was not "dead broken" but still the best companion.
Monty Roberts and other folks started to end the crap. Saw it 30 years ago still going on on the race tracks here in Germany and I do not know whether it has ended yet. Whats the gain of "breaking a horse in 5 minutes" when you have the advantage of trust and reliability for 20 years after putting in some time in the starting process?
It's called money.
You wouldn't find an employer like Ben Cartwright these days
Lovely👍👍 👌👌👌🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤😍🥰😘
Don't make shows even remotely close anymore!
Love courage ❤thank you 😊
Thanks for watching! 🤠👌🎬🍿
Man I love this episode. 😜
How many times did people get shot in the arms in Bonanza? Arm shooting seemed to happen a lot there. :)
They are trying to injure the guy, not shoot at vital organs. Well, that's my guess for that seems to fit in with the lack of overt violence when this show aired.
11:47 A nice 1860's building in the background. :)
The actor playing Johnny also appears in the episode SHOWDOWN.
Great Bonanza ❤
since when were flank straps used on horses that buck back in the old west? The object then was to get the horse to STOP bucking, not CONTINUE.
I suppose we are suppose to pretend we don't notice the flanking strap.
I really liked the ending.
Thanks for watching! We also recommend this movie: th-cam.com/video/OkuTuuSq2UU/w-d-xo.html
@@GrjngoWesternSeries Thank you for the website. 🙂🐎
Hopefully, none of the Cartwrights proposes to her.
@Leon Powe Yea we know what happens when that happens.
@Leon Powe. Johnny was after Ann from the beginning and the Cartwright sons weren't around enough to get interested in her. Also, they knew that Johnny was interested in her so they weren't going to ruin it for him.
Hope amongst the sadness
I agree. Amen
All’s well that ends well!!!😊
Nurse Rachet lol
The doc should mention Tiger´s progress on the golf course.
Okay, it's extremely unrealistic to want to have such a bad character as a neighbor and even sell him the land back. Nevertheless: Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old series.
Best regards luck and health.
🎬❤️
40:17 Impressive toss! I think that was actually Lorne Greene rather than his stunt double Ed Jurengi. Freezing and stepping through it sure looks like Ben's face and no cut before the toss. But 41:43 Come on Ben, both his hands are full, you can take him! But I know that Ben's not going to be the hero of this episode. I was waiting to see if the desk gun was for suicide or killing this guy but it's both. :D 42:00 Huh, why isn't Johnny crawling to the desk? Waiting for a sudden "I can stand up" moment? :( Ok, that was alright but 43:30 Anne, grab the rifle! You're not a weak girl, you would have figured that out. Oh my, tell them to put away their guns before you open the door or they could have shot Ben on first sight. They played the sons very weak in a couple places. It wasn't congruent with their boisterous bullying. I dunno ""You walked" was a bit much. "You're standing" would have been a lot more appropriate. And they could do more than standing there looking there stunned. Would be natural if the nurse exclaimed her excitement and said "can you step towards me" Ben says "don't push it", then Johnny says "I can do it" and takes a step into her arms. What do you think? how would you have written the ending?
No. This episode was great until it turned into a silly fantasy about Johnny's sudden TOTAL recovery with no residual impairment. That's a major disservice to the reality for actual paralyzed patients. It was great when it gave some genuine perspective to the early understanding of rehab 150 years ago. The need to wrap it up quickly left them with a shaky ending.
Where is Hop Sing in this episode?
Bro did a spongebob reference
In that order
It would be so so nice if they had cell phones even a flip phone even a pager.
If the horse didn't have a flanking strip on him, he probably wouldn't be bucking at all.
Nurse Davis (Sue Randall) looked and behaved exactly like a quintessential Bulgarian in her performance, even though she was 100% Anglo, go figure.
3:00 Interesting, in another episode they said "don't move him" when Adam fell off the roof that he was building for his bride. Season 5, Ep. 33 The Triangle (May 1964), 3 years after this one S3.Ep10 (Nov 1961) with only 1 of 3 writers changing. When I watched The Triangle, I was surprised that they said "don't move him." I wondered if that was accurate for 1860. (Of course the show is not focused on historical accuracy, but sometimes interesting to know what is accurate and what is not.)
That was quite the pretty undershirt Ben was wearing 😛
WHY do people only use one hand when riding a wild horse? Who made that rule???
BREAKING a horse? What does it say in Webster`s about the meaning of "breaking"?
Breaking a horse is breaking horses spirit
The horse breaker broke the gal (or fille) while being wheelchair bound. Irony at it''s OK.
she's rubing his legs and he's getting wood,
Your brain doesn't seem to have the ability to think above your belt. Sad, actually pathetic.
That isn't unusual for her to be rubbing his legs and for him to collect wood at the same time.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beaver Cleavers teacher.
19:29 Chaps!
Johnny Walker
Unfortunately, when I see an employer say "our injured worker is our responsibility," my immediate thought is "Fantasy land. I wish that every employer today felt that way."
At 36:56 you could tell Ben really wanted to go with his sons
This Nurse replacing Hop Sing?
Great episode but another goof is when Joe and the family arrive with Johnny Joe is wearing black boots and when he enters the house he is wearing his usual swede boots.Bad continuity.Also the clock dosent move in time.
That kind of carelessness in costuming, scene setup, and direction annoys me, too.
I really love bonanza I've watched it over a year now and I still watch them lot.👍👍👍👍👍😃😃😃
I'm only 16 but I love bonanza 😍😍😇😜😜😜
@@leliad7602 Hi Leia watch episode SQARE DEAL SAM the clock moves back several hours when they arrive in the house in the same scenes.Just another goof but a great show anyway,
Not one of the sons at the end asked their father why he's wearing an arm-sling; in real life it would have been the first natural thing to notice!
@Redblade. You're wrong! Little Joe asked his pa immediately when they got back "hey, what happened to your arm?" You're extremely unobservant, you idiot.
@@lynettepalecek3141
And you don't read properly you fool, I did not mention his arm, I said "not one of his sons asked the father why he's wearing an arm-sling".
Joe did, first thing of the horse. Been said he'll tell them later...
Mrs landers is rude
But beautiful ❤️❤️
